Board approves one-year tennis co-op so Bethany students can compete with Oklahoma City Public Schools
Summary
Trustees approved a one-year co-op allowing Bethany students to participate on an Oklahoma City Public Schools tennis team without financial obligation to Bethany; administration said the arrangement avoids hiring a coach and preserves opportunities for the student(s).
The board approved a one-year cooperative agreement with Oklahoma City Public Schools that will allow one or more Bethany students to practice and compete as part of an OKCPS tennis team for the 2026–27 school year.
Administrators said the co-op carries no financial obligation for Bethany, that the host district would assume classification and team responsibility, and that the arrangement provides opportunities the small district cannot easily offer on its own. They explained the host district will absorb the additional average-daily-membership reporting for classification purposes but that there is no additional per-student funding tied to the arrangement.
The co-op was presented as a limited, student-centered option for participation; the board approved the agreement and said it would reevaluate after the one-year trial.
